Forever in my “all neutrals” era, though the thing my eye is drawn to most here is the simple styling. I’ve had a bit of a dialogue lately around fit, and how we’re seeing a shift back towards slimmer proportions. Which to me is interesting; reflective of the “Sofia Richie Grainge” effect and “quiet luxury”. But I think also, reflective of how the world is starting to open back up again. When we do crave comfort, it’s in less of a slouchy, oversized kind of way. I do love a bit of proportion play – time and a place –…
One thing I was reflecting on recently, is how our beauty routine ebbs and flows. From an elaborate multi-step regime, to one that is pared back. Minimal even. And right now, I’m finding myself in the latter camp. Less desire to try or use new products, instead focusing on a handful of core staples. Seeking out something new to try only when an empty pops up rather than on a whim like before. It reminds me a lot of my routine in my late teens and early twenties. Prior to discovering the world of skincare. Despite not having a robust…
A love letter marrying my ideal winter colour palette and obsession with tonal outfits, this time focused on workwear. I’ve been saying for more than a decade now how what I add to my closet should do “double” – or even triple – duty. Multi-functional wardrobe separates are the key, as well as opting for items that don’t scale too high on the formality chart.

If there is ever a bag that (silently) screams quiet luxury, this is it. The Lemaire Croissant Bag. A semi-matte finish, relaxed crossbody style, with its playful design, inspired by the iconic French pastry. For me, it was one of those thought out, well considered splurges, and I was lucky to manage to get it 10% off during an SSENSE flash sale. Aside from the functionality, I was drawn to the minimalist design and lack of logo. After more than 12 months of wear, I figured it was time to do a Lemaire Croissant Bag Review – something I hope…
